Active construction visible on and around the datacenter, with the roofing mostly in place. This is based on satellite imagery. No buildings operational yet.

Projected operational date. OpenAI [stated](https://openai.com/index/five-new-stargate-sites/) Lordstown and Milam County could scale to 1.5 GW within 18 months of their September 23, 2025 announcement; subtracting Milam County's subsequently disclosed 1.2 GW capacity implies ~300 MW for Lordstown.
